OTAKU YEAR IN REVIEW 2021

I cast an eye back over what I watched and read in 2021 (New and old).

Famous Detective Holmes (AKA Sherlock Hound) (1984)

I take a look back at a an anthropomorphic classic of yesteryear.

In which I break convention and talk about a much more recent anime release I saw at the cinema.

I revisit one of Rumiko Takahashi’s lesser known works.

In which I take a look back at an anime OVA from the creator of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Hirohiko Araki.

Take me down to parody city……

I thought it’d be interesting to check out a modern sequel to a retro classic. One I’ve been putting off for a while…..

I look back at how I got into this stuff in the first place….

Thought I’d kick off the year with a bit of reflecting as well as looking forward.

Some thoughts on the definitions of “anime” and the cartoons of my youth.

In the final entry of our Casshern retrospective we take a look at the most recent series SINS.

Is this series an immortal classic? or does it deserve to die?

A new project for 2018!

I discuss the agony (and the ecstasy) of our friend and enemy: the backlog.

Another trip down memory lane regarding friends who touched my life through the magic of shared fandom.

I reflect upon my time as a subtitle proofreader for Animeigo’s recent Blu Ray release of Riding Bean (1989).

I rewatch a classic piece of 80’s anime in the first of a series of articles about Armoured Trooper Votoms!
